  1. bootloader/base.py drop stage2 requirement 

    systemd-boot places all the files need for boot
on the ESP, removing the need for a dedicated stage2
boot partition to hold the initrd/etc. So, lets add
an option to skip the stage2 validation.

  2. storage: Add a systemd class for systemd-boot 

    Systemd-boot is a lightweight boot selector that only
runs in EFI enviroments. Compared to shim+grub its incredibly
simple as it utilizes efi boot services.

Lets add a subclass that anaconda can use to install it rather
than grub.

  3. Hoist firmware bit size check 

    EFIGRUB is checking fw_platform_size to choose
which grub, 32 or 64-bit, needs to be installed.

Lets hoist that check because systemd-boot will use
it to verify that the platform firmware is 64-bits.

    Now that we have a systemd bootloader class lets add
an efi class that can call it to install the bootloader.

Then create Aarch64EFISystemBoot class that can utilize it.

on the boot commadline or placed in kickstart files.

  9. CONTRIBUTING: Add note about systemd-boot 

    The systemd-boot install feature is for the moment largly
expermental, but adding the ability to create a clean install
without grub drippings is important for testing.
